It's 17. 1/8" overall and weighs 28.5 oz.
The blade is 1095 spring steel 11. 3/4" X 1. 15/16" X 1/4" thick (3/8" at the blade catchers)
The guard, bolster, blade catchers and pommel sides are 1018 steel.

The handle is 5. 1/8" long with scales of Curly Maple.
There is a 3/8" lanyard hole in the pommel.
The sheath is 10 oz. leather with black steel rivets and a
black steel snap. There are attachment points front and back
for adding leg ties etc.
It's cemented at the spacer and hand stitched
using doubled waxed nylon saddle stitching thread making for an
extremely rugged, rough use sheath.

Thanks for looking,
Mike
